In dry weather, water freely, and as they advance in growth, hoe deep, and draw earth to the plants. After they begin to head, they should be Avatered every other day, and the leaves gathered and pinned over the heads to protect them from the sun and to keep them white. Early Snowball. Highly esteemed by market gardeners for its earliness and reliability as a sure' header. Test- ed with all other varieties, it has prov- en to be as early, if not earlier than any other sort. Its hardiness, sure heading and compact growth, make it one of the best for forcing or wintering over. Of dwarf habit, with very short outer leaves, allowing it to be planted close together.
